prediction of concrete response tovariable load histories. The constitutive equations for the
mechanical behavior of concrete capable of seeing damage effects or crack growth procedure under
loading/unloading/reloading was developed upon micro-plane framework. The proposed damage
formulation has been built on the basis of five fundamental types of stress/strain combinations,
which essentially may occur on any of micro-planes. Model verification under different
loading/unloading/reloading stress/strain paths has been examined. The proposed model is capable
of presenting pre-failure history of stress/strain progress on different predefined sampling planes
through material. Many of mechanical behavior aspects happen during plasticity such as induced
anisotropy, rotation of principal stress/strain axes, localization of stress/strain, and even failure
mechanism are predicted upon a simple rational way and can be presented.296313http://ijce.iust.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-84-5&slc_lang=en&sid=1S.A.Sadrnejad180031947532846005900180031947532846005900Yes
